Would you rather be forced to eat human clothing or human meat? (From someone who is alright to eat and consented to it)

a wild question, but i guess i would go with eating human clothing??? i dunno, consent doesn't really play into my feelings on the morality of hypothetical cannibalism lol

i mean, if we're talking like, this is a situation like the donner party or the franklin expedition or what have you, and i'm literally starving and someone is saying it's ok? yeah i'd probably eat the leather boots first, but i wouldn't be shocked if i'd eventually cave to the meat option. i wouldn't be surprised if in a desperate situation like that i might lean on my catholic upbringing and rationalize it as being like the eucharist etc the same way the survivors in the andes plane crash did.

#ask #alienmythologist #tw: cannibalism #tw: cannibalism mention #revealing how many articles and podcasts and histories and true crime etc i've consumed involving cannibalism #i think it was the andes where the survivors chose one person to be in charge of drying out the food supplies?#so that the food being eaten was kind of like. anonymized. so you didn't know who you were consuming #and in a situation that dire i would probably lean more on THAT #rather than like. the donner party where apparently people explicitly were like 'ok you're family so when i die you eat from me for sure'#bc i don't think i could do it if i knew even if there was consent #also there was that famous case in germany where a suicidal guy consented to being eaten?? and i will forever think that was fucked up #man i hope i understood what you were asking me otherwise this is a WILD answer to put on tumblr lol
